If you are starting out in Photoshop, it's like standing at the bottom of a large towering mountain... swallowing and gulping as your eyeballs swivel upward... there is so much to learn! Deke's the instructor that can lead you up the mountainside, efficiently and also with humor. In facing THIS program, you need all the help you can get. Nice to be able to 'scrub' the playbar to replay what you need of each lesson and bypass anything you don't need - you can tailor the lessons in this way. Deke has a website, also; most is above my head, but learning this program is an experience, and the "wow!" factor when you apply your new learning to your own photos really is motivating. Enjoy!

Personally I was a little disappointed with this DvD. Not because it was a bad training guide, but because I knew most everything in it already. I've been a creative retoucher for 17 years and thought this DvD would get me up to speed on the new features in CS3. Which it did a OK job of.

All in all this would be a excellent training DvD for a Photoshop beginner or even a newer user. If you've been working in Photoshop as a Professional for many years, you might want to try a different book or DvD. One thing I did love was learning some newer keyboard short cuts. Deke McClelland is a smart guy, I hope he comes out with a much more advanced DvD in the future.
